    Who the devil wants to kill he first make mad . It makes me laugh as Nigerian wheg our corrupt and incompetent government move to throw itself over potential patriotic political heavyweight like Iran and her foreign enemies. When Northern leaders made political effort to stop Israel from opening up her Embassy along with Soudi Arabia and other Arab enimies at the outset of our Independence,thye Ibos of then Eastern Nigeria fought politically to reverse that trend. They did not only make it possible to get Israel nopen thier mission in the new nation of Nigeria, they made sure Israeli hydrologic companies had their companies work and help the nation to develope their agriculture and gas industry. Nidogas was one of those gas industries. I wonder where we're coming to to bridge the gap in Arad political quandry between Iran and cronic enemies. I sugeest the nation remain clear from Arad and similar political warfare because we're going to be caught in a serious quagmire if we allow the clueless government of Jonathan find us new enemies in global politics. WE're better off playing friendly with everybody decause that is safer .

    If the terror plot is to assassinate corrupt politicians who have looted Nigeria dry, it's welcomed. There's no rational behind bringing Iran and USA into the picture. Nigerian youths should support Boko-haram to kill IBB, OBJ, Dasuki, Danjuma and their fellows in South-East including Rotimi Amaechi, Ex-governor Achike Udenwa, Orji Kalu and all kleptocratic looters in that moribund nation.
